With OU’s running game again in high gear, the offense has taken off to even greater, staggering levels. Weatherspoon, an All-Big 12 pick and the league’s third-leading tackler, will be charged with slowing Brown and Murray, who could get a heavy workload if the weather deteriorates.

Man in motion
→Player to watch: Chase Coffman, TE, Mizzou.

Coffman has more career receptions (236) than any tight end in FBS history. An All-American, he’s the preferred target for Mizzou QB Chase Daniel. OU’s decision to play linebacker Mike Balogun or adjust with an extra DB comes down to how they handle Coffman.

Hot read
→Who’s hot: Kevin Wilson, offensive coordinator, OU.

How swell is it to be OU’s offensive coordinator? A Heisman Trophy contender and 4,000-yard passer, along with two 1,000-yard backs. Playmakers galore and a veteran offensive line. As Wilson said this week, "Pretty good gig.” Should lead to another pretty good gig — as somebody’s next head coach.

Clippings
→"Oklahoma 38, Missouri 17: Rip the top off the Alamo Dome, throw in some snow flurries and put some pressure on Chase Daniel. In other words, expect a repeat of the 2007 Big 12 title game in this rematch. Sam Bradford tries to sew up the Heisman and become the first Big 12 quarterback to win multiple conference titles.
